Random Act of Kindness Prompt - Week Five

Good Morning (just barely -- it's nearly noon!)

Life is crazy busy here -- our house is in complete disarray from painting and rearranging, I have been cleaning out closets, I'm *sort of* considering a garage sale in a few weeks (which means I have piles of JUNK everywhere), my in-laws will be here in four days -- my head is really spinning. In addition to this, I have two soccer parties to plan, Cub Scout popcorn to sell and miscellaneous kid stuff to do. There truly is not enough hours in the day right now.

So -- I almost forgot my prompt today. But -- here it is...

At my old job, we used to have a fun tradition that one of my managers started. It sounds so silly, but it was really fun and everyone got a kick out of it. When one of us would travel somewhere, we would buy "totally meaningless" gifts for each of our co-workers in our department. They were usually some really bad souvenirs -- the dorkier the better. (Is "dorkier" a word?) Sometimes, they were just some cute trinket -- a pen, a pencil, a magnet -- inexpensive, fun little gifts.

So my prompt this week is to give a little gift to someone (or several someones!) -- something unexpected and fun. Nothing big -- just something quirky or sweet to brighten their day.

I am not sure how often I will blog this week -- as you can tell I'm just a little stressed out. (taking deep breaths!!) So -- have a GREAT week!!!

my parents are coming for a visit this Thursday...so I am SO there with you on the 'not enough hours in the day'. I need to take a few deep breaths myself. Enjoy your time with the inlaws and hope to see some posts from you next week! :)

Hopefully, you'll have a wonderful time with the inlaws when they visit.

Now this week prompt is cute. I like what you use to do at your work, that would make it fun. I'm think more on maybe a birthday surprise, there's a special one coming up, and I might be late on it, but I don't think I will forget about it. wink!
